Referring to Figure 18:

2.With a 5mm hex wrench, loosen two socket head button screws (E).

Note: These screws are accessible through openings on the floating clamp block (B) located diagonally on either side of the lock handle (A). They secure the fixed clamp block (C) to the riving knife extension plate

(F).

Loosening these screws (E) will allow the fixed clamp block (C) to slide back and forth on the extension plate (F).

3.Slide the fixed clamp block (F) toward or away from the saw blade as required.

4.Tighten the socket head button screws (E).

5.Reinsert the riving knife; tighten the lock handle (A, Figure 17) and check that the saw blade/knife gap is between 3 - 8mm (Figure 19).

Note: Attempt to make the gaps as even as possible.

Insert Adjustment

Adjust the setscrews in the insert with a 3mm hex wrench (Figure 20) to ensure that the insert is stable and flush with the table top.

Arbor and Arbor Bearing Removal

The saw arbor is press fitted in the saw raising arm housing. If the arbor needs to be removed for bearing replacement, it should be done by a qualified service technician. Call your customer service representative at the phone number on the front cover.

Operating Controls

Start/Stop

Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is power connected to the saw, not just when the saw is running. Do not assume that no light means there is no power to the machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be no indication. Always check before use.

Do not rely that no light means no power to the machine. Always check for power first. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Referring to Figure 21:

Start – Press the green start switch.

Figure 20

Figure 21

Stop – Press the red switch to stop.

Reset – In the event that the saw stops without pressing the stop button, as the result of a tripped fuse or circuit breaker, etc.:

1.Press red button to reset.

2.Press the green button to restart the machine.

Safety Key

The start/stop switch is equipped with a magnetic safety key. When in place on the switch as shown in Figure 21, the magnetic safety key trips a relay which will allow the machine to start and stop when the respective switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the lock can be removed to make the machine inoperable and can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it underneath the rail or another magnetic surface.

When using the saw, place the key on the switch cover lining up the arrow on the key with the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate the key so the arrow lines up with the LOCK arrow. This will prevent the safety key from coming loose from vibration when the machine is in use.
